Burke recently celebrated the opening of its new Crockett Mental Health Services location with community members, local leaders, partners, and staff at an Open House and Ribbon Cutting.
In partnership with the Crockett Area Chamber of Commerce, the event, held June 30 at 1404 E Loop 304 in Crockett, gave guests an opportunity to tour the new facility, meet Burke staff, and learn more about mental health services available to individuals and families throughout Houston County.
Burke plays an important role in meeting the mental health needs of the local community. Each year, Burke provides outpatient mental health services to about 575 adults and 180 children in Houston County. In fiscal year 2024-25, Burke provided emergency mental health services to 160 Houston County residents, helping individuals and families in times of urgent need.
The new Crockett location reflects Burke’s continued commitment to making quality mental health care available close to home. The clinic provides a welcoming space where community members can connect with treatment, support, and resources designed to meet a variety of mental health needs.
“Burke has a long history of serving the people of Houston County, and this new location represents our continued commitment to making quality mental health care available close to home,” said Melanie Taylor, Burke CEO. “Each year, our teams serve hundreds of local adults, children, and families, and we are proud to invest in a space that allows us to better support this community for years to come.”
During the event, guests gathered with representatives from the Crockett Area Chamber of Commerce for a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the new location and Burke’s continued commitment to serving Houston County.
Burke extends its appreciation to the Crockett Area Chamber of Commerce for partnering on the event, as well as the community leaders, partners, guests, and staff members who helped make the celebration a success.
